Shattered Glass panel above windshield

As the title states, 2022 A250. Really sucks as my daughter is a new MB owner and she's had a few minor issues already, she owns MB due to our urging and how happy we are with our MBs. Anyone have this issue and how much was it? Located in Arizona

Above windshield? so not the actual windshield, does that mean it is the sunroof? If actual windshield, does your insurance have windshield coverage, not saying that's the best option but it could be an option.

Yep, glass panel between windshield and sunroof, she called salesman and it is so common they have replacements on site at dealer..... Imagine that. No price given though. I guess she could do an insurance claim, but they'd get it back over time.

As an MB owner in Arizona, I'm sorry for your daughter's difficulty but given how common rocks and construction debris on roadways are in Arizona that tires pick up and throw around, it's likely that that's how the glass on your daughter's A class was damaged. It's an unfortunate driving reality in Arizona that really has nothing to do with MB quality. I see windshields with chips and cracks in them on all kinds of vehicles on the road in Arizona. I've even had it happen on my cheap, non MB daily driver. This is unfortunately a pretty common problem in Arizona. Maybe an insurance claim might be the way to go. On balance, the A class is a very nice car.
